I own a Grizzly GO513 and have been completely happy with it in every way. I really think too much was made of the cast iron vs. aluminum. The Shop Fox for all practical purposes is the...

I get Shopnotes, Woodsmith & Wood. I like all three, but if pressed to pick just one, it would definitely be Wood. FWW and PW are also OK, but for my money Wood is the best all around and I...

I have not used Festool, but have used several other brands of ROS's and I own two air ROS's and I think for speed the air is superior, but not without a price. It takes a tremendous...

A friend of mine lent me that jig a few weeks ago. His has all the templates. I am using it to make some drawers for a bathroom cabinet for my sons new house. The major drawbacks are the...
My favorite tool is probably a 6 ft. folding ruler(I use it for 90-95% of my measurements) and it's a habit I picked up form my Dad. I feel it is always more accurate than a tape. I also like both my...
Tullie,
I own several routers(Dewalt(2- 618 & 610), PC, Makita, Craftsman(2)& Freud) and the most user friendly in my estimation are the Dewalts. The others are all good and I understand that the...
:confused: Sorry Guys,
I had had e-mail communication with John LaPrest of Accurate tools on Dec. 2, 2006. He said he would sell me a guide for my router direct at that time. Unfortunately I did...

I saw this post earlier today, but I couldn't remember the sight until I came home and looked it up. It is www.accuratewoodtools.com.
Hope this helps!

I like all of the popular NA hardwoods, red oak, white oak, cherry, walnut, maple and poplar. I am especially fond of poplar as it can be made to look like many other woods with the right finishing...
I started this post a few minutes ago and all of a sudden it posted before I was able to finish. Don't know what I did. As I said I have been away from SMC forums for a while and while cutting some...
Hi everyone!
It's been a long time since I have even read or posted on any of the SMC forums. I purchased a bandmill a few months back and have been trying my hand at making boards. So far, so...
Saturday, I milled down some 4/4 & 5/4 red oak for 3 baby cradles I'm making and cut a walnut tree and got a 13 ft log and an 8 ft log, between 15" and 22" diameter. Didn't realize how heavy those...
I'm in the middle of building 3 baby cradles(one for first Great Grand Child, one for Church Worship leader & wife's first child and one for show) and will be continuing the prep of the Oak I'm using...
Dan,
I personally have a Craftsman mortiser and have been more than happy wtih it. It for me, is an occasional use tool, but I use it frequently enough to justify having it. Unless you are going...
Charlie,
We are just getting done figuring kitchen cabinets for my son's new house that will be being built in about 6 weeks. It's not a real big kitchen, but the maple cabinets that he and his...
Ken,
I don't post to often, but I would opt for the 17" or 25" Super System. Yes, I think you can do what your thinking with the 25" system. An alternative would be to make your own templates and...

Thanks for showing your guard. If you don't mind I think I will incorporate some of your design into the one I'm going to be working on.

Bruce,
My wife and I will be making it down there for the 3rd year in a row. We like to get there on Friday when it opens. We ususally return for Saturday also. It is always a great show. Another...

I own the Ridgid and have been very satisfied with it. As far as parts availability, even if HD changes, you'll still have Ridgid to fall back on. They have been helpful when I needed...
I own or have owned everyone but the Bosch. I have used the Bosch however and don't feel it is anywhere as user friendly as the Dewalt. Also the Bosch I have used has not had a good reliability...
Markus,
Thanks for the info. Those are pretty neat.

I have been approached about making a display case for two civil war pistols.
Apparently they are quite valuable and in very good condition. Does anyone have pictures of pistol display cases they...

I have a 1000SE and think it's about the best miter guage on the market for the price. Granted it requires tools to set up and adjust, but once its set you can make very accurate and...
Thanks Mike & Rick for the info. I sent a PM to Walt and will be contacting
St. James Bay.
Thanks again!
Larry :) :) :)
This past weekend I aquired 3 old Stanley Planes, a Bailey #7C and two block planes #140 & #203. They were my father's, whose vision has left him unable to do woodworking anymore. The 140(I think)...
